Heinz told me:
"You need to dd starting from the first physical extent (use pvdata -PP 
on the old one and look for pe_on_disk.base) to the same offset on the 
new disk (skip and seek dd option) and you want dd to continue after 
read errors (noerror option)."

Also, I was recently told about the dd_rescue utility, but I haven't had 
the misfortune/opportunity to try that one yet.
